Dolphin Tale 2 inspires us to help Camp No Limits
Today is the day we have waited a long time to happen... The release of Dolphin Tale 2! Jordan and I were incredibly lucky to have a chance to attend an early screening of the movie.Jordan brought along her special Winter Dolphin stuffed animal and watched the whole movie intently. It was SO cool to see the movie with the experience of having met Winter and Hope back in 2011. The story of Winter and Hope is just as inspiring as the first movie. Seeing children and adults spend time with Winter always make me a bit weepy. The connection Winter brings to people living with physical and developmental differences is so special. I can't help it. Just watching Jordan's love of Winter and how the dolphin inspires her makes me tear up a bit. Thank you, Hanger Prosthetics, for taking the time to save Winter's life and help inspire SO many people.The coolest part of the movie? It has to be at the end when you get a chance to see Camp No Limits Florida campers meeting Winter. It's a special part of the Florida camp each year. Even cooler? Some of our friends from the Missouri camp are in the movie! It inspired us to make sure Dolphin Tale 2 is a reason to launch our 2015 fundraiser for camp. Plus, Jordan is now SUPER interested in visiting the Florida camp. Maybe in 2016.For now, we're excited to start our 2015 fundraising for camp by launching a Born Just Right fundraising page and we hope you'll consider sharing some support as well. Beyond the online fundraiser, we are planning a Dolphin Tale 2 fundraising event in our town. Some wonderful people are pitching in with donations and I can't wait to raffle them off at a local movie theater event in October. (I had really hoped to hold the fundraiser this weekend but travel for work has put me behind in the planning!)We also want to give you a gift for being awesome. At the bottom of this post, you have a chance to throw your name in the hat to win two free tickets to see Dolphin Tale 2! I am super lucky to have a handful of ticket pairs to send, so don't be afraid to put your name into the hat. Just tell me what inspires you and you'll have even more chances to win.
